The North London Derby has always been one of the most anticipated confrontations in the Premier League, but it is rare for the match between Tottenham and Arsenal to be as meaningful as this encounter.
Tottenham is currently only 5 points ahead of the relegation group after a streak of 8 consecutive matches without a win in the Premier League, with 4 draws and 4 defeats. This is Spurs' worst record in a season since the 9-match winless period from August to November 2007.
More worryingly, Tottenham is the only team in the Premier League that has not yet won in 2026. This is also their worst start in a calendar year since 1994, when Spurs could not win in the first 10 matches of the year.
Igor Tudor faces a huge challenge when taking over the hot seat from Thomas Frank on a contract valid until the end of the season. However, Tottenham is not the only team in North London to be in a situation of "thirsty" for points.
Arsenal dropped the lead in 2 consecutive draws against Brentford and Wolves. Their gap with Man City is now only 2 points after The Citizens defeated Newcastle.
Arsenal is clearly dominant in recent encounters with Tottenham in the Premier League.
The Gunners have won 6/7 recent matches (1 draw), including a 4-match winning streak. The last time Arsenal beat Tottenham in 5 consecutive matches in the league was in the period from January 1987 to January 1989.
